Pumpkin Spice Granola - YUM!

It is called Pumpkin Spice Granola and it is oh so yummy. Please visit Joyful Healthy Eats for the original recipe.

The recipe is super simple and I had everything on hand (which rarely happens). I only made two minor adjustments. I used walnuts instead of almonds and added extra dried cranberries. I also think pistachios would be tasty.

We host Thanksgiving every year for both sides of our family. I always like to send something home with everyone. A couple of years ago I sent everyone home with a small loaf of homemade bread. Last year, our guests received a bag of ingredients to make fresh stove top potpourri (see here). I think this granola may be the gift to receive this Thanksgiving. :)
